San Francisco Chronicle calls Black Russian “a gracefully written feat of historical sleuthing.”

NEXUS sells out on Amazon on launch day

The release of NEXUS by Ramez Naam has gone amazingly well. NEXUS made it to #1 on Amazon’s “Hot New Science Fiction” list and #50 on their overall Fiction list. Amazon completely sold out all of their physical stock on launch day and then almost did it again a second time. The book is off to a great start.

Books sell, in the long run, by word of mouth. NEXUS has gotten amazing reviews at BoingBoing, Wired, Ars Technica, The Wall Street Journal, and more. But all of those will have their impact only in the very beginning. What matters after the first few months is whether people who read the book recommend it to each other. So far that looks to be going well – on Amazon the book already has almost 80 customer reviews, more than three quarters of them five stars, and the rest all four stars.

So, in summary: thank you, thank you, thank you for helping get NEXUS off to an amazing start! It’s been a great way to kick off the new year.
